found this while testing bug 75660. when there are no windows present, there are
some commands that should work from the menubar. however, when i select File >
Open File, the file picker doesn't launch [shouldn't it?]. tested using
2001.05.29.08 moz bits.
mac only.
Keywords: pp
Confirming using Mac/2001090508 and Mac/2001080214 (0.9.3). Neither File/Open
from the menubar or Cmd-O summon the file dialog when no windows are open.

This is a really annoying bug. Cmd-Q doesn't work either when there are no
windows.  I think it should be fixed before 1.2.
It is already nominated for nsbeta1.

was this a duplicate of bug 36016? (fix checked in today)
No, this is a different problem. The problem here is that the 'Open File'
command is being dispatched as it should, but nothing is being done in response.

Is there a js error?  Does opening other windows/dialogs work?
Opening empty navigator windows works.
There is a js error though:

Error: _content has no properties

I suggest a complete check-up of Enbaled/disabled menu items when no window is 
Open

For bookmark menu:

"BookMark this group..." of tabs is enabled. Using It cause an error
"File Bookmark" is enabled

A complete description of the file menu problems is in bug 153961, marked 
duplicated of this
Bug still exists in Mozilla 1.2.1 and build 2002120508.

Could you provide a more detailed explanation for what you did here?  I'm not
following this.

Looks good.  I'd add a new line between the pref service and global string
bundle code.  With that, r=jhpedemonte.
